Malaga Outdoor 1 Light Wall Lantern - Black

The Malaga is a 410mm half-lantern wall light in black powder-coated cast aluminium, built with polycarbonate glazing panels and an IP54 dust and water-splash rating. The fitting houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately) behind clear polycarbonate that diffuses the light without yellowing or cracking under UV exposure. The cast aluminium frame carries a five-year guarantee with no coastal exclusion, meaning the finish is warranted even in salt-air environments.

Designed for mounting on exterior walls at porch entrances, courtyard walls, garage doorways and pathway lighting positions, the Malaga sits flush against masonry or rendered walls with a 130mm projection from the mounting surface. The IP54 rating protects the lamp holder and internal wiring from rain and dust ingress, making the lantern suitable for use in uncovered positions exposed to typical UK weather. The 180mm width keeps the fitting in proportion on standard single or double door frames without overwhelming narrow entrances.

The black powder coating bonds to the cast aluminium substrate at high temperature, providing better corrosion resistance than paint and maintaining its finish through freeze-thaw cycles and direct sun exposure. The half-lantern profile mounts directly to the wall without a gap behind, keeping spiders and insects from nesting in the void. The polycarbonate panels are impact-resistant and do not shatter like glass if struck during maintenance or storage of outdoor furniture.

What bulb does it take?

The Malaga takes a standard E27 Edison screw bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W at 2700K-3000K for outdoor porch and entrance lighting.

Is the IP54 rating suitable for uncovered outdoor positions?

Yes. IP54 means the fitting is protected against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for mounting in exposed positions such as porches, courtyard walls and garage entrances where it will experience rain and wind without direct water jets.

Does the guarantee cover coastal installations?

Yes. Norlys specifically offers no coastal exclusion on the five-year guarantee for the Malaga range, meaning the powder-coated aluminium finish is warranted even when installed in salt-air environments typical of UK coastal areas.

How is the lantern wired and mounted?

The lantern mounts to a standard UK outdoor electrical back box with two fixing screws through the rear plate. The mains cable enters through a rear entry point and connects to the internal lamp holder. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and comply with current BS 7671 wiring regulations.
